About

About GoMate Mini

GoMate Mini is Guangdong Huilun Technology's fourth-generation wheel-leg humanoid, developed within GAC's robotics programme. Its variable wheel-leg structure switches between three mobility modes for travel, obstacle crossing and transport. The platform combines perception, navigation and human interaction for security patrol, inspection, reception and other service work. Huilun states an operating time above eight hours and recovery after a fall.

By August 2026, GAC reported nearly 50 GoMate Mini robots deployed across seven projects. Its August update identifies automotive production-line inspection and security patrol in locations including Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Xiamen and Tianjin. Huilun configures the robots with models and workflows for individual operating environments, combining industrial applications with public and facility services. This deployed fourth-generation model is distinct from the original third-generation GoMate.
